I meant to say something closer to 'should rise to the level of', I didn't mean to imply that it is a crime now. I didn't know that about the California law... but I understand that treatment is much more effective so I can see why it's no longer at a felony level. How about those not wearing masks or at least maintaining minimum recommended behavior to minimize transmission get a 'reckless endangerment' and/or 'child endangerment' instead, not quite so Heavy Felony but still a solid signal to others that NOT helping to stop the spread of this is morally incorrect. Edit: to more closely convey my understanding of the CA bill changes.
